Is Northernlion the only normal streamer? Why arw they like this?

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 48 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

NL is so normal it's actually wound back around to being fucking weird

He's actually so twisted that a crazy straw is just like a regular straw to him

[–] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 44 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because their jobs are sitting at a desk all day playing video games talking to a bunch of children in an Internet chat room

You either have to be fucked up to be able to do that job or that job will eventually fuck you up

Same reason why tech bros are all incels

I guess Northernlion was born to do that? The Michael Jordan of streaming?

[–] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 2 weeks ago

The normal well adjusted ones typically aren't newsworthy

I refuse to learn anything about jerma's personal life because I don't want the illusion to be shattered

The Northernlion joke for the past 14 years

I don't watch that bald man but Jerma and Vinny are both normal. All of the non-WoW/LoL/etc older bigger twitch streamers from the little streaming content I consume (usually long-edits of game playthroughs in the background while i'm working) seem pretty normal. I'm thinking like, TF2/Machima/2010 era still-active streamers like Jerma/Ster/Vinny/Joel.

Hasan and like Ludwig count as like newer streamers to me with both being pretty normal.

Vinny vinesauce also seems pretty okay, and Jerma was a cool guy.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

Jerma will put you into a meat grinder though

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Would you happen to have a link to a good Jerma VOD? I’ve heard much about him, but I’ve never seen any of his videos. Apparently his thing is to make ridiculous things seem normal by just acting… normal? I dunno, but I’m curious.

[–] yoink@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

this is not a full vod, but his whole alien rant is basically what you're describing

I’ll check that out, thank you!

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Watched with my partner (both of us had never seen hi stuff before) and we both very much enjoyed it. If you think of any other examples, I’d love that!

[–] abc@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I highly recommend his Sims streams because they're psychotic if you've ever played any of the Sims (he doesn't put windows in his first house and wonders why his sims are unhappy), plus he went through the entire series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2InPFjgwJE

His Seaman stream is also by far one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz0bmHAgdrY ("Heaven, heaven, heaven, english, everything going to be alright, heaven" LMFAOOO)

Thank you so muck! Oh god seaman…

My partner and I pulled up his Long Drive stream and it has been hilarious so far. We both love the Sims 2-3, so I think that’ll be right up our alley!

I think LethalFrag is also pretty normal, at least he was back when I still watched twitch. I think abc has it right: non-WoW/LoL/etc older, bigger twitch streamers tend to be reasonably normal

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Brutalmoose is a fantastic normal streamer!
